Fair enough. Let me end this contention with a apology. I guess the
personal attacks you were dishing out set me off. Perhaps they were
deserving, I'll wait to make up my mind.
"Eby always asked me who else thought lunar based NEO detection was a good idea, so I just wanted to remind him of who else did..."
A good answer to that one is everyone.
Sadly, I think if a serious "spaceguard(not referring to a specific framework)" program is going to occur, it will be as an afterthought
to a space program largely scientific, economic, or hybridized version
of the two. That is unless Tunguska 2 happens over D.C. Simply
knowing of a threat doesn't necessarily motivate people to act to prevent it. Case in point, 9-11.
On the bright side, statistically speaking a major hit in the next century is vanishingly slim. At least i'll sleep better if I don't question the logic behind that one too much, right?
